Pest control

Electronic pest control at work.

HAs anyone here tried those ultrasonic pest control devices? Do they work?

You know, the ones that you plug into the wall and emit a high frequency noise that rats and mice can hear but we can’t. It’s supposed to drive the rodents crazy, but not bother humans and domestic animals.

Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous period between 110 and 130 million years ago and diversified after the rise of flowering plants.

They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and a distinctive node-like structure that forms a slender waist. Ants form colonies that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living in small natural cavities to highly organised colonies which may occupy large territories and consist of millions of individuals. These larger colonies consist mostly of sterile wingless females forming castes of “workers”, “soldiers”, or other specialised groups. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called “drones” and one or more fertile females called “queens”.

Ants thrive in most ecosystems, and may form 1525% of the terrestrial animal biomass. Their success has been …

Electronic pest control? Safe for rabbits??

I would like to get an electronic pest control device, but certain devices have warnings that the frequency pitch they use is harmful to pets such as gerbils, hamsters, and snakes.

I live in an apartment so I can’t just call pest control; however, I’m still looking into all of my different options, and the electronic pest control device is just one of them. I appreciate your responses and am open to other pest control suggestions that are safe to use with pets in the house!
